Edwards Central School - Hornet Yearbook (Edwards, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 50 of the 1952 volume:

Edwards Central we adore thee, We will praise thy name. By our deeds we will extoll thee, Praise we all aclaim. When we leave dear Edwards Central Fond thoughts will remain, Memories will ever linger Praise we all aclaim. Chorus Hail! dear Edwards, Edwards Central! Glory, truth, and right. Praise to thee, our Alma Mater, Home of Green and White. 2 To all the former E.C.S. students who are or have been serving in our Armed Forces preserving peace and safeguarding our sacred democratic principles ... to them we dedicate the 1951-52 EDWARDIAN. 3 We must fulfill the urge within all of us to secure some- thing better than we have. We must build anew, and stronger than ever before, the moral bulwarks the world so greatly needs. Honesty and sincerity in all our thoughts and deeds must be sought and developed. Sympathy and understanding must become common traits, not limited to those who can afford to be sympathetic and understanding. We must seek and find our satisfactions in a realm beyond mere material things. As never before our generation requires something above and beyond ourselves. We must have something to hold that will draw out and develop all that is good within us. Some will call these things spiritual and moral needs. Others will give the name of religion to them. Many will propose their own par- ticular formula for securing them. I am not concerned very much with such aspects of the problem. The heart of the matter is that people need something more than material things to grasp and to acquire. The inner fiber can be strengthened as we find it and use it. 4 BOARD OF EDUCATION Lloyd Austin Leon French Arthur Boulet Ab Clark . . . . . . President Vice President . . .

Our goal has been reached. The students who started out in first grade under Miss Margaret Sullivan were: Shirley Bleau, Carolyn Boulet, Susie Cassidy, Jeanette McDonald, Shirley Shore, Kathryn Spaulding, Marlene Watson, Harold Bullock, Charles Ellis , John Pender s , Wayne Ellis, Edward Spaulding and Thomas Todd. During the next years of elementary school the following mem- bers joined our class: Betty Markwick, Irene Rice, Dora Rounds, Doris Hogue, Betty Patience, Doris Given, Helen Manchester, Patricia Ray, Virginia Smith, Merton Goodale, Silas Rice, Esbon Wordon, Weldon Weir, Ronald Brayton, Leland Bullock, and Aubrey Chapin. The following member s started in their Freshman year of high sc hool in 1949: Carolyn Boulet, Cynthia Barker, Suzanne Cassidy, Jeanette McDonald , Doris Given, Betty Patience , Margaret Sullivan, Irene Rice, Marlene Watson, Eugene Davis , Kenneth Hartle , Harold Bullock, Leland Bullock, Thomas Todd, Merton Goodale, Aubrey Chapin and Ronald Brayton. During the year Donald Ordo joined us and then left. The officers for that year were as follows: Presi- dent-Suzanne Cassidy; Vice President-Betty Patience; Secretary- Carolyn Boulet; Treas.-Jeanette McDonald, Class Advisor-Miss Faye Iaria, later becoming Mrs. Clifford Pratt. In our Sophomore year we lost two students: Harold Bullock, and Kenneth Hartle. We also gained two students George Finley and Robert Morehouse. George Finley left before the year was out. For officers that year, our class elected as Pres.-Eugene Davis; Vice Pres.-Carolyn Boulet; Sec.-Susie Cassidy; Treas. Jeanette McDonald and Class Advisor Mrs. Berwyn Woodman. Next came our Junior year. James Wood joined us and then left before the year was out. Officers were Pres.-Thomas Todd; Vice Pres.-Leland Bullock, Secretary-Kenny Hartle; Treasurer- Marlene Watson and Class Advisor Miss Ellen Sargent, now Mrs. John Missert. Finally came our Senior year. We now boast of fourteenmem- bers. During the summer we lostRonald Brayton. The officers for the year are as follows: Pres.-Eugene Davis; Vice Pres.-Doris Given; Secretary-Treasurer-Jeanette McDonald; and Class Advisor Mrs. John Missert. 12 (2Ca i 'iU We the class of 1952 of Edwards Central School be- ing of sound, but indifferent memory, do thus declare our wishes in this our last will and testament. To Mr. McFarland we leave a middle name to go with that middle initial. To Mrs. Holmes, we leave a megaphone so she can be heard above her homeroom. To Mrs. Missert, we leave many thanks for seeing us through our last two years in high school. To Mr. Slocum we leave a bag of lemon drops and a brand new chemistry class. To Miss McGill we leave a homeroom with good hearing so they can hear the last bell in the morning. To Miss Holgado we leave a dime store diamond until she gets the real one. To Mrs. Hohnson we leave a coke dispenser to re- lieve those long hot days. To Mrs. Webb we leave a new cafeteria cashier to take the place of the one she lost. To Mr. Brown we leave a black convertible full of cough drops and throat disc. To Mr. Fletcher we leave a new supply of girls to keep the Mercury full. To Mr. Nemier we leave an apartment in Edwards so he won't have to fly back and forth. To the grade teachers, Miss Sullivan, Mrs. Beach, Mrs. Hughes,Miss Grant, Miss Noble, and Mrs. McKee, thanks for starting our education. To the cafeteria workers we leave a quieter high school lunch line. To Mr. Rose we leave our thanks for picking up after our chalk fights. To Marge Cassidy thanks for typing our tests. (Joke) To the Junior Class we leave our ability to earn money. To the Sophomore Class we leave the senior home room in good shape and hope you get therein two years. To the Freshman Class we leave our dignity and manners. To Kay Bouletwe leave an airplane so she can fol- low her miner around the world. To Theresa Clintsman we leave an elavator to take her down to the cafeteria. To Shirley Rowe we leave a home town boyfriend so she won’t have to skip school so much. To Shirley Lutz we leave a commercial diploma in case Mr. Brown doesn't give her one. To Margie Hurley, Leland Bullock leaves her his basketball number so she won't forget him. To Carol Bell we leave a seat behind Paul in the homeroom so she can keep close watch on him. To Corinne Boni we leave a bag of lemon drops so she can keep near Mr. Slocum. To Shirley McIntosh we leave a date book so she can keep her dates from getting mixed up. To Mary Anne Matejicik we leave a little bit of weight to go with her height. To Rosalie Rushlo we leave a taxicab to take her to and from the basketball games. To Paul Osborne we leave a room in Ogdensburg so he won't have to use so much gas going to see that certain blonde. To Keith Brasie we leave a new car to go with that drivers license. To Warren Mancherter, Aubrey Chapin leaves some of his masculine strength. To Lyle Longtin, Irene Rice leaves some of her quiet ways. To Arthur Gagnon we leave a private tutor so he won't have to bother coming to school. To Jimmy Todd, Leland Bullock leaves his private seat beside the study hall teachers desk. To Henry Waugh, Aubrey Chapin leaves his place in sports. The Senior Varsity Cheerleaders leave their places to the Junior High School Cheerleaders. Betty Anne Patience leaves good luck in twirlling to the rest of the twirllers. In witness thereof, we set our hand and seal in this year nineteen hundred and fifty two, in the class room of the Seniors, in the village of Edwards, County of St. Lawrence,State of New York,Country ofUnited States. Class of '52 Witnesses: Rhubarb and Harvey 13 As I gaze into my crystal ball I can see a group of familiar faces. Yes, it is the graduation class of 1952. What a long time ago that was. Here comes Cynthia Barker -- I mean Mrs. James McFerran. Shortly after graduation she had a simple wedding ceremony while Jimmy was on a furlough. Soon there will be a little McFerran. Who is this coming? Can it be -- it is Susie Cassidy. Susie has become very successful as a medical secretary. She takes dictation in the main operating room at the Mayo Clinic while her husband operates. Marlene Watson seems to be happy. She has a very productive job as Albert Einstein's assistant. Marlene was just too brilliant to be a math teacher all her life. Speaking of teachers, I can see another one. Doris Given is the anatomy teacher at the Syracuse University School of Nursing. She married the chief surgeon ata Syracuse hospital. Their five year old son wants to be a doctor. I can see an airplane now. I think Tommy Todd is the pilot. He got lots of experience flying jet planes in the last war. The stew- ardess on the plane is Betty Anne Patience. Gee, she looks cute in the uniform! She loves her job so much that already she has refused 48 proposals of marriage one from every state. Is that a cabin in the Adirondacks? Yes, and there is Aubrey Chapin and Merton (Smoky) Goodale. Both of them hate to shave and you should see their beards. Probably they will both come out into civilization because lately they have been writing and receiving love letters. Girls just can't resist that carefree charm. Carolyn Boulet is having a busy life as Mrs. Averill. They have been running a square dancing school in Miami, Florida. A maid takes care of their little dosey-does and allemande-lefts while they are working. Here comes Margaret Sullivan, Supt. of Nursing at Bellvue Hos- pital in N. Y. C. All the nurses love her, so does her husband, Mr. Peter Lawford. She was his nurse when he got a corn on his little toe. Irene Rice is head dietition for the Army at Camp Drum. She's chasing a bashful soldier that always offers to peel potatoes for her. He's tall dark and oh! my! Needless to say Leland Bullock is Margie's husband. He is a wonderful daddy. Leland has memorized Brave Buffalo Bill. (Mr. Slocum doesn't have anything on him) . Jeanette McDonald, R. N., didn't do much nursing after she gradu- ated from Nursing School. She's put her knowledge to good use -- caring for her hypochondriac husband. He chased her until she finally caught him. Lastly comes Genie Davis. Soon after graduation he was offered a job by Uncle Sam. After rendering his services in the army, he got a job selling Electrolux vacuum cleaners. (Thanks goes to Mr. Brown for teaching him salesmanship). Must be that cute little Japanese girl finally hooked him. I can see them farming the Davis place with the help of seven little kiddies.
